Wrolf,

You comment about comment about CS being considered an engineering
discipline at SUNY Stony Brook is in error. Prior to becoming an
independent department, CS at Stony Brook was part of the Applied Math
department. At no point has CS been part of the engineering department.
It has always been closer allied to Math than to Engineering.

It is however, certainly true that at many Universities CS can be found
as part of a CSE department.
